The second psalm of the trilogy expresses confidence in God. According to the Talmud, it was used on Jewish New Year's Day. This psalm looks forward to when the tribulation is past. He will be revealed as the Mighty Conqueror. In this psalm, He is the King on the throne. v. 1-4. THE CALL FOR REJOICING: This psalm sees the blessings of the future occurring in the present. All nations are subdued, while Israel is uniquely related to God because of her inheritance and God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. v. 5-9. THE CALL FOR PRAISE: This is not just enthusiastic jubilation associated with rejoicing. The singing of praises is a more formal, orderly expression of thanksgiving and giving of honor to the Lord. This is an assurance of the Lord's victory, giving confidence in the absolute certainty of the kingdom's reign.
